Amazon's "Lord of the Rings" American TV series may start filming after returning to the filming location of the movie trilogy

Amazon's new American TV series "The Lord of the Rings" is known as the "most expensive American TV series in history". It is said that the Internet giant has invested 1 billion US dollars in an effort to produce a classic work that lives up to its golden name. Today, the official Twitter account of "The Lord of the Rings" suddenly tweeted a New Zealand flag. Fans have predicted that this means that the crew is about to or has already arrived in this familiar country and is ready to officially start filming!

The classic "Lord of the Rings" movie trilogy and the subsequent "The Hobbit" were all filmed and shot in New Zealand. Therefore, the return of the American TV series "Lord of the Rings" to this "Middle-earth" has been strongly welcomed by the public.

According to the New Zealand Herald, most of the "Lord of the Rings" American TV series will be filmed and produced in this country, with Auckland and Queenston being mentioned as potential locations. A senior film industry practitioner in Auckland told the New York Times that at least two different New Zealand film production companies are already doing pre-production work on the film. They have been working on the project for more than a year, covering many areas, such as building a studio.

It is still unknown when Amazon's American TV series "Lord of the Rings" will be officially launched. It was previously reported that the first season will be a 20-episode production. The $1 billion invested by Amazon also exceeds the combined funding of the movie trilogy and beats "Game of Thrones" (each episode costs about $15 million), becoming the most expensive American TV series in history.
